# 259210 11-Dec-2013 jmmv

Migrate tools/regression/bin/ tests to the new layout.

This change is a proof of concept on how to easily integrate existing
tests from the tools/regression/ hierarchy into the /usr/tests/ test
suite and on how to adapt them to the new layout for src.

To achieve these goals, this change:

- Moves tests from tools/regression/bin/<tool>/ to bin/<tool>/tests/.
- Renames the previous regress.sh files to legacy_test.sh.
- Adds Makefiles to build and install the tests and all their supporting
data files into /usr/tests/bin/.
- Plugs the legacy_test test programs into the test suite using the new
TAP backend for Kyua (appearing in 0.8) so that the code of the test
programs does not have to change.
- Registers the new directories in the BSD.test.dist mtree file.

sh: Recognize "--" in . and exec.

Although "--" historically has not been required to be recognized for
certain special builtins that do not take options in POSIX, some other
implementations recognize options for them, requiring scripts to use "--" or
avoid operands starting with "-".

Operands starting with "-" can be avoided with eval by prepending a space,
and cannot occur with break, continue, exit, return and shift as they only
take numbers, nor with times as it does not take operands. With . and exec,
avoiding "-" is not so easy as it may require reimplementing the PATH
search; therefore the current proposal for POSIX is to require recognition
of "--" for them.

We continue to accept other strings starting with "-" as operands to . and
exec, and also "--" if it is alone to . (which would otherwise be invalid
anyway).
